I heard it has more to do with country specific laws and regulation rather than technical issues.
[Android Apps and Games] mammenj:
Why is it only 6 bytes?
[Android Apps and Games] LePeR1898:
I think your reading it wrong..

and thanks for the modded version it seems to have fixed and allowed me to install :) 5.7 must have for offline maps <3
[Android Apps and Games] luculuc:
Now it s quite easy to download maps for offline use with the official app, do you guys think that there will be a way to have navigation offline with next versions of ownhere? And maybe a trick to download more than 10 miles around a chosen location?

How do I install this version ?

Is it the same instructions from post 1 ?

>How to install re-sign version

(using your version that is posted) maps5.7.0-ownhere-testkeyresign.apk

>1. In Titanium Backup, select Maps and make a backup.

>2. Select Maps and wipe data, then uninstall.

>3. Select Street View and wipe data, then uninstall

>4. Install Google Maps 5.x ownhere-resign.apk

>5. Go to market, and reinstall street view.

Although I see a maps update in appbrain........it doesn't find it, in the market, therefore it's best to use this version. Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] globalgpj:
Do we have to uninstall Google Maps first, or can we simple install over it by installing the new maps ZIP file through CWM ?

EDIT. Solved my problem. I just uninstalled street view, then google maps v5.6, went to my download folder using ES File Manager and clicked on v5.7 and installed it, then installed street view again, and all is working fine.. Easy :)

The maps5.7.0-ownhere-testkeyresign, refuses to install no matter what!

I am using ownhere since 5.2.0

I have upgraded to an official 2.3.3. So, lost my ownhere version of course.

Went through the regular steps

clear data of official maps

uninstall official maps using titanium backup

install testkeyresign

NOT INSTALLED

Tried to copy to system/app + permissions

no go

Installed official 5.7.0 (link here, a few posts up), and opened.

Clear data and uninstalled

again tried to install testkeyresign

NOT INSTALLED

tried maps5.7.0-ownhere (not the resign)

WORKS!!!
[Android Apps and Games] w0ng3r:
seems like alot of people are having install issues, I had the same problems on 5.6.0 and 5.6.2.

I had to uninstall maps several times before I decided to uninstall street view as well. it installed the resigned version after that. Hopefully it solves some problems for people with the error
[Android Apps and Games] sushiboy:
In my case (Nexus S), maps5.7.0-ownhere doesn't work. However, testkeyresign version works.;)
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
So stupid of me! have not noticed that street view comes with the new rom!

uninstalled it. now the resign works
[Android Apps and Games] mynameisjon:
people need to start reading the OP carefully.

Clearly states wipe app data for Street view and uninstall street view as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
You should read more carefully as well!

As I stated, I am using ownhere since 5.2.0.

Back at the time, there was no street view on my device, since street view does not work in my area.

It was a total surprise to find it pre-installed in the new OFFICIAL rom from my cellular operator.

capish?
[Android Apps and Games] DarkPal:
If you still have the market update nag after installing the CwM I posted earlier. Update to regular maps then reapply the CwM zip again and it should be gone.
[Android Apps and Games] mynameisjon:

This is is a happy thread so let's keep it happy ok ! .
[Android Apps and Games] FallingEdge:
So I just installed the latest official version and the biggest problem I have is that while using Navigation, the screen dims after 2 minutes. It used to be that it would stay bright the entire time but now, that isn't the case. When doing turns and whatnot, it will stay on but if on a stretch of road and you will be on that road a while, it will dim. I usually have my phone plugged in so I just want it on, I am not concerned about battery life.

I did see that in the latest changes, they "improved battery power management for Navigation (Beta)". Does anyone know how to turn off the auto dim during this mode?

I am on a T-Mobile G2.

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
you need to enable it from labs.

in maps. menu-> more->labs

and then click on the right option
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
do you use to resign version ?
[Android Apps and Games] DanielMalmgren:
I know that. But the option isn't there. In the lab settings I only have the scale bar and measure options. I thought maybe this was related to the mod, never checked if the option was there before removing official 5.7.

a quick and possibly stupid question

how do I know if it is working ok. I followed the instructions, I signed into latitude.

what do I need to do next?
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
Try getting driving directions from point a to point b if it works, it works....
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
If you don't have the option of enabling offline maps in labs, you don't have version 5.7.

This option was added only in this version.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
it works just fine for me.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
Just recheck version, you may find it by Map-menu-more-about

How to install this modified maps if i have already 5.7 version installed?
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
First post is very specific about installing.

You need to be rooted

You need an app like titanium backup

Backup data of maps using titanium backup

Clear data of maps, and un-install using titanium backup

Backup data of street view using titanium backup

Clear data of street view, and un-install using titanium backup

Install the resign version

Restore data (if you choose to), of maps using titanium backup

Install (if you choose to) street view, and restore data using titanium backup

Enjoy voice navigation
[Android Apps and Games] przemo_pl:
mobile_luke and others who had problems with installing both by TB and adb:

This is way I managed to install maps:

1. clear data for maps and street view as was mentioned in TB method

2. uninstall both applications

3. move apllication file to /system/app using Root explorer

4. change permissions (very important!!) to rwxr--r-- (can be done from Root explorer)

5. (don't know if necessary) change owner of this file to root:root (previously was sdcard:sdcard or something similiar). can be done from terminal (su and then chmod root:root /system/app/maps5.x.x-ownhere.apk).

After reboot maps icon should be visible in app drawer.

This method worked for me... Now i have problems with GPS fix, my Hero reboots after trying to get fix ;/

There is lot discussion already thr in this post, neway

Both file is installing same SW to your device, but it depends how you want to install

ownhere.apk can be install with ADB, or with root file explorer

while testresign.apk can be installed like other normal application, browse with file manager in your mobile n install

Both methods requires, first complete uninstallation of stock application

diffrent but same solution;
1.settings..>applications...>manage applications...>all...>find locations and clear data...>find maps and clear data..
2.install the remover software which is called system app remover...
3.run system app remover
4.click system apps
5.find and remove maps and locations.
6.and finally install maps5.2.1-ownhere-resign.apk...

I've never tried this method so :o

Can't get mine to work on Galaxy S I9000 running 2.3.3.

Tried first method:

Use TB with root to clear data and uninstall for both Maps and Street View.

Ran "maps5.2.1-ownhere-resigned.apk", came up with "Application not installed".

Tried 2nd method:

ADB push -- failed as well

Tried 3rd method, recommended by other members:

I have even tried installing latest Maps from Market, not available for my carrier. Found a way to download latest Maps.apk file, installed it. Use TB to wipe and uninstall it. Then try to install "maps5.2.1-ownhere-resign.apk". Still showing "Application not installed".

I'm stumped.
[Android Apps and Games] tonno16:
what is the changes???? market shouw me again "update"
[Android Apps and Games] Ghazkul:
I think the bolded part is getting people confused, installing can be interpreted as runing the apk file. But in this case it means copy it to system/app, you kinda get hinted about this though if you watch the adb section :) but still.

The resign version should not and need not go to system/app, but rather be simply installed.

Hi,

Ownhere sure sounds like a great tweak!

I want to install ownhere 5.7 on my Samsung Galaxy S-II. Does anyone know if there are any bugs caused by installing the app on this perticular phone?

Also, does ownhere change any system settings/code inorder to work, or does it just install an alternate version of Maps? I.e. will all changes made by the app be reverted back to stock ROM in case I uninstall?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] szymonunion:
Nice... I will restore data+app from TB and download StreetView and I will check if navigation is working.
[Android Apps and Games] szymonunion:
I can confirm that Navigation is working fine in official Google Maps 5.7.0 in Poland :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ghazkul:
Yea true, but the file that is posted on the first post is not the resign version. I just flashed a new room today and did exactly as you posted at first, it didnt work. When trying to really install the apk file it just said "not installed". So I copied it to system/app and whola, it worked.

Another difference I did was that I restarted the phone after uninstalling maps, mostly because maps was force closing, even though I used Titan to stop and uninstall maps.
[Android Apps and Games] mynameisjon:
This is UNTRUE. The RESIGN version is meant to be run and installed.
[Android Apps and Games] ykphuah:
I never managed to install RESIGN version since 5.6.0 from ownhere, it shows "Not installed" when I try to install it manually, when if I copy it into /system/app, and reboot, Maps doesn't show up as installed.

I always use the "upgradable" version now.
[Android Apps and Games] universed:
Confused

Hey all,

I am not clear on the instructions. I have 3 questions here:

1. There is 1 set of instructions number 1-5 and then a second set of instructions number 1-5.

2. Then there are 2 files:

maps5.7.0-ownhere.apk

maps5.7.0-ownhere-testkeyresign.apk

Whats the difference and do we use both or just 1?

3. It appears the version of ROM i have BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA Ginger 2.3.3 HTC Sense 3.0_V4 has no maps installed at all. If that is correct then what should i do in this situation?
[Android Apps and Games] LuffyPSP:
using sgs2, custom VillainROM, i removed the maps from system/app. but when i tried to install it using any file manager, application not installed. and then i tried copying it manually using root explorer, nothing happened too.

then i want to try adb, and adb remount failed, operation not permitted.

i used to be using htc desire, and never got anything wrong with adb and anything. installed fine. now how should i do this?
[Android Apps and Games] drpsyko:
They say that the resign version is meant to be installed directly, after backing up in TB, wipe map data and uninstall. Then reboot, restore data only in TB. But I get the 3 error state.

Then I figure out that maps5.7.0-ownhere.apk can be installed using adb push or copy directly into system/app after mount and then execute chown. Reboot the phone, restore data and voila, map, latitude, places and nav work!

Btw, great job stian230 and Brut.all for this great hack.

Navigating freely on HTC Desire HD using XDA App
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
In sort, you have to install either of one only, different file is just for different methos of installation. If you dont have installed map already, thn i think resign version is best for you, just install like routine android apk n it shud be work.

resign version meant for installation just like routine android apk, but who have previously installed map, they have to first remove stock Map, and as stock map is system application, you need to root your phone to uninstalled stock application with titanium backup or system removal application or else.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
I know it's a little messy on the first page, but when 5.7.0 came there was a new installation method.

1.if you look a bit closely, you'll see that the instructions No. 2 is for those who get the "Login Failed" message when trying to login to ladetude.

2.maps5.7.0-ownhere.apk install using Tb and maps5.7.0-ownhere-testkeyresign.apk installed directly.

3. try first maps5.7.0-ownhere-testkeyresign.apk installed directly.
